Ke ulu mālie nei kā mākou hoʻohana ʻana i nā maka maka i kēlā me kēia lā i kumu nui hou o ka haumia keʻokeʻo ma hope o nā ʻeke ʻōpala.
Ua manaʻo ʻia kahi noiʻi ʻo 2020 he 129 biliona mau maka maka i hoʻopau ʻia i kēlā me kēia mahina, ʻo ka hapa nui o ia mau mea he masks disposable i hana ʻia mai nā microfiber plastik. Me ka maʻi maʻi maʻi COVID-19, ua hoʻolaha ʻia nā masks disposable i ka hapa nui o nā ʻāina e pale i ka maʻi COVID-19 no ka mea hiki iā lākou ke kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka hoʻolaha ʻana o COVID-19 a me nā maʻi ʻē aʻe, e hoʻonui mau ana kēia ʻikepili.
Eia nō naʻe, i kēlā ʻano hiʻohiʻona o ka hoʻohana kiʻekiʻe, ʻaʻohe ʻāina i hana i nā alakaʻi "kūpono" recycling no nā masks, e alakaʻi ana i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o kēia mau masks i hoʻolei ʻia e like me ka ʻōpala paʻa, kahi e hoʻopiʻi nui ai i ka mālama ʻana i ka pollution plastic honua.
ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi hopena hoʻomau i ka pilikia pollution plastic honua i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā masks disposable he mea nui.
ʻO ka mea i hala iho nei, ua noi aku ʻelua mau mea noiʻi biotechnology mai ke Kulanui ʻo Gazamada e hiki ke hoʻolei ʻia nā ʻōpala mask pili i ka maʻi maʻi me nā masks biodegradable disposable i hana ʻia mai nā lau pineapple.
Hana ʻia nā masks biodegradable me nā lau pineapple, a no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā fiber maoli ma mua o nā fiber plastic, hiki i nā microorganisms e like me nā haʻiki a i ʻole bacteria ke hoʻomaka koke i ka hana hoʻohaʻahaʻa ma hope o ka hoʻoinu ʻana i ka lepo (manaʻo ʻia e lawe ʻia i ʻekolu lā).
Kii | Kaʻina hana paina lau fiber: mahi paina (A), hua pineapple (B), pulupulu i unuhi ʻia mai nā lau pineapple (C), pulu paina lau i hana ʻia ma Indonesia (D) (Source: Hindawi).
Ua hoʻomaopopoʻia he mea maʻamau ka pineapple ma nā wahi wela,ʻo kaʻike kūpono e hōʻike ana i ka uluʻana o ka pineapple honua i hiki i ka 27.82 miliona tons ma 2020. Loaʻa i nā lau pineapple kekahi o nā mea kiʻekiʻe loa iʻikeʻia i loko o ka fiber content (kokoke i 80%), a ma laila. he nui nā ala e unuhi ai i ka fiber mai nā lau paina, e hana ana i ka fiber lau pineapple i manaʻo ʻia he koho maikaʻi no ka fiber plastic e nā mea noiʻi biotechnology.
Kii | ʻO nā ʻāina alakaʻi honua i ka hana paina ma 2020, ma waena o nā Philippines, Costa Rica a me Brazil nā mea hana paina nui ʻekolu o ka honua (kumu: Statista).
He keʻokeʻo ka lau pineapple, he filamentous sheen, he kiʻekiʻe ka ikaika tensile, he ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kino ma mua o nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe (e like me ka hemp, jute, flax, a me ka canna), a he maʻalahi hoʻi e hoʻopale. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā lau lau pineapple ma ke ʻano like me ka pulupulu, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kaiapuni ma mua o ka pulupulu.
Hoʻoulu ʻia ka pulupulu me nā lāʻau pesticides a me nā mea kanu, a ua hana ʻia me nā kemika koʻikoʻi, koe kekahi o ia mau mea a hiki ʻole ke holoi ʻia. ʻO nā lau pineapple, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ulu ʻia me ka ʻole o nā mea hoʻohui a hiki ke hana hou ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki a loaʻa maʻalahi.
I kēia manawa, hana ʻia ka nui o nā lau pineapple i kēlā me kēia makahiki, koe wale nō kahi ʻāpana liʻiliʻi i hana ʻia i fiber lau pineapple a hoʻohana ʻia i nā mea maka a me ka hana ikehu (e like me ka hana ʻana i ke kaula, twine, composite a me nā huahana lole). ʻO ka mea maʻamau e hoʻolei ʻia e like me ka ʻōpala mahiʻai, ʻo ka hoʻohana kūpono ʻana o kēia mau lau pineapple ʻaʻole e hōʻemi wale i ka haumia o ke kaiapuni, akā lawe pū kekahi i nā pono waiwai.
Pehea ka nui o nā masks biodegradable disposable no ke kanaka? ʻO ka mask surgical disposable maʻamau he ʻekolu papa polymer. ʻO ka ʻaoʻao o waho he mea hoʻoheheʻe ʻole ʻia (e like me ka polyester), ʻo ka ʻaoʻao waena he lole i ulana ʻole ʻia (e like me ka polypropylene a me ka polystyrene) i hana ʻia me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kaʻina hoʻoheheʻe, a ʻo ka ʻaoʻao o loko he mea hoʻoheheʻe e like me ka pulupulu. . ʻO ka polypropylene, ka mea maʻamau i hoʻohana ʻia i ka hana mask, paʻakikī loa e wāwahi i hiki ke noho i loko o ke kaiaola no nā makahiki he mau makahiki, a hiki paha i nā haneli mau makahiki, e lilo i microplastics a nanoplastics.
Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻohaumia ʻana i ka plastic, hiki i nā maka i hoʻolei ʻia ke hōʻiliʻili a hoʻokuʻu i nā kemika ʻino a me nā mea olaola, e like me Bisphenol A (BPA), nā metala kaumaha, a me nā microorganism pathogenic. I waena o lākou, ua kuhikuhi ʻia ʻo bisphenol A he hopena carcinogenic.
Eia kekahi, ua hōʻike ʻia nā haʻawina ʻē aʻe e hiki ke lawe ʻia nā masks mai ka ʻāina a i ka wai maʻemaʻe a me nā kai moana ma o ka holo ʻana o ka ʻili, ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana o ka muliwai, nā au kai, ka makani, a me nā holoholona (ma o ka entanglement a i ʻole ingestion) inā ʻaʻole i hōʻiliʻili a mālama pono ʻia. Wahi a kahi hōʻike 2020 e OceansAsia, "Ua manaʻo ʻia he 1.56 biliona mau maka maka e komo i ka moana i 2020, e loaʻa ana he 4,680 a 6,240 tons o ka pollution plastic Marine."

Hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻia me ka hoʻomohala maʻamau o ka maʻi maʻi, e hōʻiliʻili wale ka ʻōpala o nā masks, a ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pollution i ke kaiaola. ʻO nā masks hoʻokuʻu ʻia i hana ʻia mai ka lau pineapple fibers e hoʻohaʻahaʻa maoli a ʻaʻole hoʻokuʻu i nā mea ʻino, hiki ke lilo i mea hoʻonā i ka haumia plastik i hana ʻia e nā masks.
Eia nō naʻe, ma muli o ke ʻano hydrophilic o ka fiber lau pineapple, ʻaʻole ikaika a paʻa e like me ka plastic. Pono ka noiʻi hou aku e hoʻoponopono i kēia pilikia.
